Escape from Tarkov Latest Update: Exciting Features Revealed

The highly anticipated Tarkov wipe is on the horizon as announced by Battlestate Games . The upcoming Escape From Tarkov wipe will coincide with the release of the substantial 0.15 patch , with the exact timing of the patch installation now revealed . Players can expect a significant amount of server downtime during this period , rendering the game unplayable.

According to a statement on the official Escape From Tarkov social media pages , the 0.15 patch and wipe for Tarkov are scheduled to be implemented at 7 AM BST / 2 AM EDT tomorrow , August 20 . The installation process is estimated to last a minimum of eight hours , with the possibility of an extension if any unforeseen issues arise during the update.

Assuming the installation proceeds as planned , the new Escape From Tarkov patch and wipe will be accessible at 3 PM BST / 10 AM EDT . Players are advised to log into the launcher at this time to download the patch , although it is important to note that server overload may occur due to high demand following the patch launch.

As with previous updates , server issues are common when a new patch is introduced , often affecting features such as the password reset system due to the influx of requests . It is recommended that players log into the Tarkov launcher ahead of time to ensure a smooth transition once the patch is live.

The upcoming patch will introduce a multitude of new features to the game , including new weapons , the addition of the factory map , and a formidable new boss character . These additions promise to enhance the gameplay experience for players , although some may find the new boss challenging enough to consider abandoning the PvP mode altogether.

The downtime for Escape From Tarkov servers is scheduled to commence on August 20 at 7 AM BST / 2 AM EDT for the installation of the new patch and wipe . Players can expect the servers to be inaccessible for approximately eight hours during this period , with the game unavailable for play.

Assuming the patch installation progresses smoothly , the servers are anticipated to be back online around 3 PM BST / 10 AM EDT . Following the server restoration , players in the PvP mode will find their progress reset due to the wipe . Additionally , the PvE mode will also be offline during this time , as it relies on connection to the Battlestate Games servers.
